Do come and join us for nibbles before our next general meeting on March 13th. Your committee has had good news from the OHRRG team – the first selection of tapes by Ronda Jamieson and Heather Campbell for a selection of representative oral history interviews to go on the State Library’s website has been completed and Ronda and Heather are busy making the next selection. The technicians have worked hard to keep up the spanking pace that was set before Christmas! See also ‘News from the State Library’ piece on OHRRG on page 10. Our Treasurer, Nick Drew, and I have been made members of the Stirling Gates Committee! This group set out to have the Gates that were erected in 1929 at the entrance to Stirling Park in Guildford (and on land originally belonging to the Woodbridge estate) refurbished. The wrought iron work had deteriorated and the hinges rusted through so they were virtually derelict. With urging from this committee the City of Swan has undertaken to do the restoration, in conjunction with the Swan-Guildford Historical Society and the Guildford Progress Society.

  • Panopticon from Wikipedia, the Free Encyclopedia
    Panopticon From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia The Panopticon is a type of institutional building designed by the English philosopher and social theorist Jeremy Bentham in the late 18th century. The concept of the design is to allow all (pan-) inmates of an institution to be observed (-opticon) by a single watchman without the inmates being able to tell whether or not they are being watched. Although it is physically impossible for the single watchman to observe all cells at once, the fact that the inmates cannot know when they are being watched means that all inmates must act as though they are watched at all times, effectively controlling their own behaviour constantly. The name is also a reference to Panoptes from Greek mythology; he was a giant with a hundred eyes and thus was known to be a very effective watchman. The design consists of a circular structure with an "inspection house" at its centre, from which the manager or staff of the institution are able to watch the inmates, who are stationed around the perimeter. Bentham conceived the basic plan as being equally applicable to hospitals, Elevation, section and plan of Jeremy schools, sanatoriums, and asylums, but he devoted most of his efforts Bentham's Panopticon penitentiary, drawn to developing a design for a Panopticon prison. It is his prison that is by Willey Reveley, 1791 now most widely meant by the term "panopticon". Bentham himself described the Panopticon as "a new mode of obtaining power of mind over mind, in a quantity hitherto without example."[1] Elsewhere, in

  • IAVS Bulletin 14 Lyon (France), 19 June 2011 Editors: L
    IAVS Bulletin 14 Lyon (France), 19 June 2011 Editors: L. Mucina & N. Smits The Organizing Committee of the 54th annual IAVS Symposium invites all members of the International Association for Vegetation Science (IAVS) and the whole community of plant ecologists to attend the 54th annual IAVS symposium in Lyon, France. Host scientific institutions are the University of Lyon (Université Lyon 1) and the CNRS (National Centre for Scientific Research). The symposium will begin on Monday morning, the 20th of June 2011 and will conclude on Friday, the 24th of June. For more information, access to registration, and instructions for the submission of abstracts, visit the website (http://iavs2011.univ-lyon1.fr/en/). All aspects of plant ecology are welcome and the special theme will be: Vegetation in and around water: patterns, processes and threats. This special theme is motivated by the particularly high vulnerability of vegetation communities in wetlands and aquatic ecosystems in the framework of global change. The Symposium will offer opportunities for networking and exchange of knowledge regarding all aspects of vegetation science through lectures, workshops and poster sessions. We hope this Symposium will promote and reinforce discussions and international collaborations about all aspects of vegetation science. Several key speakers have been invited, including PA Keddy (Canada), JP Grime (UK), JS Rodwell (UK), C Körner (Switzerland) and E Garnier (France). This Symposium will also present the opportunity to enjoy the exceptional ecological heritage of the Rhône-Alpes Region. Several mid-symposium excursions to areas surrounding the City of Lyon will showcase the ecosystems of the region, which will include wetlands, peatlands, calcareous grasslands, lakes and mountainous-forested ecosystems.

Everyone is invited PRESIDENT’S 1-3 to come along and enjoy some Christmas Cheer and catch up with fellow members. REPORT There will be no Guest Speaker. EDITORIAL 3 Do not bring anything other than your happy selves. Everything that is required for a good time will be provided. GUEST SPEAKERS 4-11 Our normal meetings will resume on 12 February 2016. FUTURE SPEAKERS 12 Our President Ron will not be with us on the 13th, and he takes this opportunity to wish AND CREDITS all members and their families a Merry Christmas and a bright and prosperous New Year. PRESIDENT’S REPORT Now that winter seems to have passed, we can start to enjoy those beautiful sum- mer evenings and the longer days that go with this time of the year. I do prefer summer to winter! (Your Editor does not agree!) At our age, we know that we live in an ever-changing world and that we should never get complacent—ask Tony Abbott. The change of Prime Minister to Mal- colm Turnbull was not a surprise; in fact, some even thought that it might have happened earlier this year. It is still too early to cast judgement on whether this is a good move. However, it does seem that there may be scope for us to feel a little more optimistic.

  • 180Th Year Celebration of the Old Courthouse Launch of the Final
    180th Year Celebration of the Old Courthouse and Launch of the Final Stage of Redesign of the Law Museum Address by The Honourable Wayne Martin AC Chief Justice of Western Australia 23 March 2017 Attorney General of Western Australia, the Honourable John Quigley MLA, President of the Law Society of Western Australia Mr Alain Musikanth, distinguished guests too numerous to mention, ladies and gentlemen. I am greatly honoured to have been invited to address this gathering to celebrate the 180th anniversary of the opening of the building which now houses the Francis Burt Law Education Programme, and the Law Museum, and to formally launch the final stage of the redesign of the Museum. Before going any further I would like to thank Aunty Marie Taylor for her characteristically generous welcome to country, and pay my respects to the Elders past and present of the traditional owners of the lands on which we meet, the Whadjuck people who form part of the great Nyoongar Clan of South Western Australia, and acknowledge their continuing stewardship of these lands. The 1837 Building The building we celebrate this evening is the oldest building still standing in the City of Perth. It was designed by Henry Willey Reveley, who also designed the oldest building in the metropolitan area - the Round House at Fremantle, which was built in 1831, just two years after the Colony was founded. The Honourable Nick Hasluck AM QC, who regrettably cannot be with us this evening, wrote of Reveley's interesting life, including his association with Percy Bysshe Shelley and his opportunistic joinder of Captain Stirling's ships as they called in at Cape Town on their way to the Swan River Settlement, just after he had been dismissed from his then position, in a fascinating article published in this month's edition of Brief magazine.
